"I'd guess this is a fairly new writer"
I've really lost my touch. I'm probably one of the oldest writers still active in the writeoff. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother

Well, so much for being weird, heh. Maybe next time, I'll work out better.

Maybe have it so that the art contest's results is the thing that the writers are then supposed to based their stories around?
So, now that this story got bottom ranking, I can say it was a really bad idea to try to make this work on only 750 words. Well, I guess I can now expand on this later.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

It's like watching static. 90% of the time, it's a jumbled mess. But that 5%, you may spot something.

I'll participate when possible. I'm not exactly overflowing withfree time as of late. I'm fact, time is a severely short comodity. Still, it's writing that more or less keeps me sene. So, thanks for the kind words.
As for your suggestions. .. they give me an idea

All the shortcomings of both short word counts and a time limit. Still had fun making it.

Your idea was actually one of my first versions of this. Then I quickly realized that it was taking way too many words (the meeting alone went past 1k words). I had to scale this down massively. In truth, what was posted was maybe only 10% of the originally planned story.

This story as meant to be Lovecraft inspired, not outright Lovecraft lore friendly. I did consider dropping more references, including an outright confirmation that our main character gained his abilities due to being a resident of the Dreamlands, but in the end, I abstained from it, mostly due to the fact that I was short of space. If only the word limit had been larger.
Still, glad you enjoyed what you enjoyed. Makes me happy all the same.

Had the word limit not been so short, you would have seen something far, far deeper. As is, I'm actually proud I managed to get out what I did with so few words.

Hey, thanks for the review. Sorry 'bout the late reply. Been busy.
And yes, I did kinda drop the ball towards the end, partially on account of the word limit, but mostly because I couldn't think of a better way to end the story based on where I had taken the narration. Had I had my way with things, I would have had the two characters interact via gestures and mental images that hinted at a grander conflict between the two, one that had gone on since time immemorial. I also would have dropped flashbacks to the main character's past lives in between the travel. So much I could have added to spice things up.
All in all, though, I think I really enjoyed writing this. Glad you liked the description parts, though. It's kind of what I pride myself in.
